Spoiler Review of Kingdom of Ash by Sarah J. Maas

It's been quite a while since I last posted but I have finally returned with another review! Not too long ago I finished reading Kingdom of Ash by Sarah J. Maas which is the final book in the Throne of Glass series and I absolutely loved it!

Throne of Glass is one of my favorite series and although my feelings have changed for it over time I still love it. The main thing I struggled with throughout the series was the abrupt change in relationships from Aelin and Chaol to Aelin and Rowan. It just felt so unnatural to me and I couldn't stand it, and although I learned to live with it, it still did bug me. The other thing was the unnecessary sexual scenes that are thrown in because, in my opinion, a young adult book should not go that far with something like that.

In this book, I found that the relationship was a lot more bearable because they weren't constantly wanting to get with each other and the series was brought back to its roots with all the battle and action that was going on.

The most heartbreaking scene for me was the final stand of the Thirteen and I was so sad to see all of them sacrifice themselves to win the war. The bond that all of them shared was such a nice thing to read about and it broke my heart watching them all die for Manon.

While Aelin was traveling through worlds trying to get back home I loved the easter egg that Maas planted of what was obviously Rhys and Feyre, and that Rhys slowed her down so she could get back.

Overall this was a beautiful ending to the series. I did struggle with a few scenes just because of Maas's choice of words and the descriptions she goes into, but I feel like it wrapped up everything so nicely. I'm so sad to say goodbye to these characters because they played a big part in shaping my reading but I'm so happy to see how it all ends.

I received an early copy of this book from the publisher via Library Thing in exchange for an honest review.Glass and Gardens is an anthology of short stories all about futures with worlds that are essentially utopian, or in short an optimistic version of steampunk. Overall I gave the book 3/5 stars because it wasn't my cup of tea in the end. Take a look down below for what I have to say about each story, going from highest rating to lowest.

The Spider and the Stars: 4/5 ⭐️The Heavenly Dreams of Mechanical Trees: 4/5 ⭐️These two stories were my favorites out of the anthology. I found The Spider and the Stars to be such a cute and interesting story to read about a future where humans learn to love bugs, and The Heavenly Dreams of Mechanical Trees was a hopeful story about a sentient mechanical tree who was soon going to stop functioning.

Thank you to Apex Book Company for sending me a free copy in exchange for an honest review.

Aetherchrist by Kirk Jones was a fascinating read, to say the least. It reminded me of an episode of Black Mirror, a twisted version of today's world where a man keeps seeing his own death playing over and over again on TV.

I will admit at first it was hard to get into because the author goes right into the story with very little world building and descriptions, but as the story goes on it's easier to understand. I found the story to be a perfectly haunting sci-fi thriller, but there were a few things I had problems with.

The author's writing is all around good but every now and then I read some phrases that I just couldn't help but cringe at. The other thing was the weird, to me uncesseccary, sexual scenes that in my opinion really added nothing to the story. Even though I had trouble with these things, once you really get into the story they become less noticeable.

When I had first heard that Veronica Roth was releasing a new book, Carve the Mark, a little over a year ago I was so excited because I was such a huge fan of the Divergent series. It ended up being that I didn't like Carve the Mark very much, but that's not what we're here to discuss today.
When I preordered Carve the Mark I was able to send in a copy of my receipt so that I could receive an exclusive epilogue to the Divergent series. I was so excited because Divergent was one of my favorite series, so I waited for the epilogue to arrive. And I waited some more. And I waited some more. But it just never showed up.
To my delight, a user on Goodreads sent me a link to a PDF of it online and I got so excited and read it immediately... and my excitement quickly shrunk.
Is it possible to give a book negative stars? Because that's what I really feel about this one. To be completely honest it's one of the worst things that I've ever read in my life.
